Introduction
I am currently a postdoctoral fellow at the ETH AI Center, collaborating with Prof. Siyu Tang and Prof. Christian Holz. I received my Ph.D. in 2024 from Xiamen University with Prof. Cheng Wang and Prof. Chenglu Wen, in 2024. Before that, I completed my B.E. in 2016 and pursued a two-year master’s study (2017-2019) at Xiamen University. My research interests lie in 3D Computer Vision, including scene mapping, scene-aware 4D human motion capturing, and Human-scene interaction reconstruction.

Article
We introduce HiSC4D, a novel H uman-centered i nteraction and 4D S cene C apture method, aimed at accurately and efficiently creating a dynamic digital world, containing large-scale indoor-outdoor scenes, diverse human motions, rich human-human interactions, and human-environment interactions. By utilizing body-mounted IMUs and a head-mou...

Motion capture is a long-standing research problem. Although it has been studied for decades, the majority of research focus on ground-based movements such as walking, sitting, dancing, etc. Off-grounded actions such as climbing are largely overlooked. As an important type of action in sports and firefighting field, the climbing movements is challe...

We present SLOPER4D, a novel scene-aware dataset collected in large urban environments to facilitate the research of global human pose estimation (GHPE) with human-scene interaction in the wild. Employing a head-mounted device integrated with a LiDAR and camera, we record 12 human subjects' activities over 10 diverse urban scenes from an egocentric...

We propose Human-centered 4D Scene Capture (HSC4D) to accurately and efficiently create a dynamic digital world, containing large-scale indoor-outdoor scenes, diverse human motions, and rich interactions between humans and environments. Using only body-mounted IMUs and LiDAR, HSC4D is space-free without any external devices' constraints and map-fre...
Article
3D human trajectory reconstruction in an indoor scene is critical in various applications, such as indoor navigation and human activity recognition. This task is challenging due to occlusion and clutters of indoor scenes, flexible human body joints, and severe lack of relevant datasets. Although several methods have been proposed to reconstruct a 3...

In this paper, we present a publicly available benchmark dataset on multisensorial indoor mapping and positioning (MiMAP), which is sponsored by ISPRS scientific initiatives. The benchmark dataset includes point clouds captured by an indoor mobile laser scanning system in indoor environments of various complexity. The benchmark aims to stimulate an...

Mobile laser scanning (MLS) systems mainly comprise laser scanners and mobile mapping platforms. Typical MLS systems are able to acquire three-dimensional point clouds with 1-10 centimeter point spacing at a normal driving or walking speed in the street or indoor environments. The MLS' advantages of efficiency and stability make it a quite practica...
Article
Efficient 3-D mapping provides useful and detailed 3-D data for many applications. In this letter, we present a multisensor calibration and mapping method, to provide highly efficient and relatively accurate colored mapping for GPS-/global navigation satellite system-denied environments. The sensor data include 3-D laser scanning point clouds and c...

Indoor 3D mapping provides a useful three-dimensional structure via an indoor map for many applications. To acquire highly efficient and relatively accurate mapping for large-scale GPS/GNSS-denied scene, we present an upgraded backpacked laser scanning system and a car-mounted indoor mobile laser scanning system. The systems provide both 3D laser s...
Article
This letter presents a line structure-based method for integration of centimeter-level indoor backpacked scanning point clouds and millimeter-level outdoor terrestrial laser scanning point clouds. Using 3-D lines for registration, instead of matching points directly, can improve the robustness of the method and adapt to multisource point cloud data...
